Description
The Story
In The Durrells of Corfu, Michael Haag captures the enchanting tales of the Durrell family as they leave behind the drab confines of post-war England for the sun-drenched shores of Corfu. This vivid biography weaves together the adventures and misadventures of Gerald Durrell, whose passion for wildlife and the natural world blossomed amidst the island's lush landscapes, and his mother, Louisa, who sought to create a nurturing home for her spirited children. Through rich anecdotes and heartfelt narratives, Haag unveils the complexities of family life, the joy of discovery, and the beauty of nature that defined the Durrells' time on the island.
Why Readers Love It

Haag’s eloquent prose brings to life the characters, both human and animal, that populated the Durrells' world. The themes of familial love, the pursuit of happiness, and a profound appreciation for the natural environment resonate deeply, making it a poignant read for those who cherish the bonds of family and the wonders of the outdoors.
